Summer Complacency...beware

[Scythe13]

The sun is shining, weather is sweet yeah (Bob Marley)

Mr Marley is spot on. We are entering the season to relax, put up our feet and enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Well, as good as that would be, I wish it was true.

Summer is the time to make those repairs, plant, repot, fortify, and get out and about more.

If you're looking for an easy summer, you're either prepping wrong or not prepping at all.

Granted it's a requirement to get some downtime. To relax and enjoy the fruits of your labours. But I bet there is so much more you could do.

For the last week we have lived off the garden and the farm. Easy! Plenty of veg and eggs and rabbits. The water storage is good too. But the number of other things we could do!

Until my name is SD and I'm 100% set and ready, there is a lot more to do.

The real trick is to make a conscious effort to do one more prep, clean out the fireplace, build a solar panel, install a battery, store more water, increase the growing space....the list is endless!

Beware of summer complacency. Just because the forum is quiet, doesn't mean that you should be.
